Jumping in with my older brother. He's been out all day pulling people out of neighborhoods. Wish us luck and safety. He said it was tough this morning with all the people that were stranded. Especially with kids.

Ok. So here's the deal. We launched by dropping the boat and trailer and walking them both until we could get the boat off. The water was between thigh deep and knee deep on the street so we had to walk it through current. Once we got into deeper water it was easier. How ever we got crappy info from someone coordinating this area. We fought through deep water to cross a creek then pushed forward to find the neighborhood we were trying to get into with only 6-8 inches of water... people were driving around!!! Was a waste of time and took a couple hours to get to the location...

Here is the deal. You HAVE to have a shallow water running boat. Launching is a biatch. Surface drive or fan boat is crucial bc of the various water depth. Fiberglass boats take a beating bc of hitting curbs and all other crazy crap under water.

We took some damage to the grottoes cable and drive cable so the boat is out of commission.

Also, they put a 10 pm curfew so anyone in the water past 10 WILL BE ARRESTED!!!

The last pic is showing where we fought through and where we got to. The green is where people were driving around and it was reported flooded...

Anyone that needs a hand let me know. Boat may be down and out but I'm not. Problem will be coordinating with you as I seem to be trapped inside due to high water. There was an apt full of people near 45 and cypresswood this morning but no one could get to them.

There are trucks with boats driving around everywhere looking for something to do.
Most are getting sent back. Went to over 5 places today for about a 4 hour period and was told no more boats were needed. This was a big change from yesterday.

Was in Katy this morn with an airboat. My advice is to jump in and get after it. If you wait around for instruction you'll be turned away or on stand-by. PLENTY of folks there need help and the water is getting worse! Take the white flags down as you rescue and go door to door to make sure all areas are cleared. The area I was in had been upgraded to mandatory evacuation and most residents didn't even know that. Good luck and be safe!
